A Post-Secondary Education and SkillsTraining Report released on March 9,2000 predicts a declining labour forcesupply, largely due to a retiring baby-boomer population.

Doug Elliot, the report’s author,suggests that there is a paradigm shiftfrom a surplus of workers, to ashortage of skilled workers in certainoccupations.

Key projected trends showSaskatchewan’s labour force to berelatively stable over the last twentyyears, although demographics havesignificantly changed its composition.Women have experienced higheremployment growth rates than men,there has been a shift from younger toolder workers, and there is an increasein the number of two-income earnerfamilies.

The size of the potential labour forceis expected to grow from 520,000 in1998 to 558,000 in 2013. Virtually allof the labour force growth will be aresult of the growing Aboriginalpopulation. The size of the labourmarket is expected to decline after2013, when most of the baby-boomers have reached retirement age.

The implication is that declininglabour supply will dampen economicgrowth. This can be avoided through:

• Replacing labour intensive taskswith equipment and technology.

• Reducing inter-provincial migration

of labour supply. However,competition for labour will befierce with every province inCanada (and the United States)experiencing he same agingdemographic trend.

• Incentives to keep baby-boomersin the workforce.

• Increasing labour forceparticipation rates of peopleunderrepresented in the workforce.

The challenge for labour marketpartners will be to create training andemployment opportunities for peopleto develop the skills to fill futureoccupational shortages. Increasingparticipation and success ofAboriginal people in the educationand training system is critical tomeeting labour force demands.

Occupational mobility will becomeincreasingly important, which willrequire upgrading the skills of peoplealready working and those drawnback into the workforce.

The report predicts that there will beopportunities for those under-represented in the labour market.Industry, education and trainingsystems, Aboriginal organizations,the community and government willneed to work together to betterrespond to labour market trends.

DETAILS

The Service-producing sector historicallyaccounts for approximately 70% of the jobsin Saskatchewan. Goods-producing in-dustries account for 30% of jobs. Growth inforestry, mining, oil and natural gas have bal-anced employment loss in agriculture, con-struction and utilities.

The four fastest growing occupationalgroups are:• In social science/government/religion• Those unique to processing/manufacturing/• Management• Art/culture/recreation/sport

Only Regina, Saskatoon, and the North, ofthe province’s seven economic regions,have experienced employment growth(1987-1998).

The size of Saskatchewan’s potential labourforce will peek in 2013. The dominatelabour force age group will switch from thecurrent 25-39 to the 40-54 age group.

The Registered Indian population is expect-ed to grow at an annual rate of 3.6% overthe next twenty years. The population inthe 15 to 64 age group will double from1988 to 2018.

Employment rate refers to the number ofemployed persons as a percentage of thepopulation.

Unemployed refers to respondents that are15 years of age or older and were availablefor work and were a) on temporary layoff,b) had looked for work in the past fourweeks, or c) were scheduled to start workin the next four weeks.

Areas in need of further study include:labour supply and demand for the non-prof-it sector, occupational analysis of shortagepredictions, a more thorough analysis of theeconomic impact of labour supply short-ages.

EditorialCommentsby Shelley Hosaluk

This issue welcomes career and workeducators to the official start of thenew millennium and the 21stcentury! The dawning of a new yearpresents an opportunity to pauseand to reflect upon past experiencesand possible future directions. Likethe fresh breath of spring, a newyear offers the potential to embarkon new journeys and learningexperiences. Michael Fullan (1993)aptly states, “Teachers as changeagents are career-long learners,without which they would not beable to stimulate students to becontinuous learners.” As youincorporate change and shape theminds of youth, may you be inspiredthis year to develop and share yourpassion and vision for careereducation in the communities youserve.

Applying learning outside of theclassroom is crucial to developing avision for career education. Careereducators understand theimportance of fosteringcommunication and critical thinkingskills with students. Encouragingstudent collaboration throughquality experiences with agenciesand businesses is paramount tosuccessful community building.Preparing young people to developcareer awareness and to exploreavailable options aids students inbecoming self-directed planners andresponsible citizens. Careereducation practices highlight studentknowledge, skills, interests, andexperiences. Levels ofaccomplishment, effort, progressand strengths can be identified.Linking school with work or post-secondary institutions can be

heightened through student self-evaluation, reflection, andgoal-setting. In reference to theimportance of career education,William Daggett (1995) asserts,“…we don’t need less theory or lesscontent, or less rigor; we just needthe application of the presentacademic curriculum. A rigorousapplied curriculum forces every childto have both rigor and relevance.”Career education applies academiclearning to the world outside of theclassroom; thereby enriching thelives of students, educators andcommunity members.

Many teachers in this province arecommitted to the concepts of careerdevelopment and education. Theirvision and passion for careerdevelopment is clearly evident bythe growing interest of teachers inthis province to look beyond bordersand to network through sharedlearning opportunities in the globalvillage. Internet technologies, forexample, have assisted educators tocome together and to see what ishappening or can happen thousandsof miles from home. New ideas,programs, and projects are brewingin every direction.

Dedicated practitioners are excitedby innovation and change. As

“career-long learners” according toFullan, teachers model continuouslearning for students. Teachers inthis province are ready to apply whatthey are learning outside of theclassroom. Passionate, and withvision, Saskatchewan’s career andwork educators are rigorouslyworking to provide relevant learningexperiences for the youth of thisprovince. However; teachers in thisprovince need the support of schooldivisions to erase systemic barriersto innovation, change and progress incareer education. Structural andinstitutional support is necessary ifpossible “future forward” directionsare to be explored. Developingprograms aimed at enhancing andincluding strategies for career-lifeplanning and employment in the21st century will further propel thoseeducators with a vision for careerdevelopment. School divisions thatstaff their buildings with career andwork educators, those with an eye tothe future, can provide the youth ofour province with the relevant toolsthat will enable them to be successful.As change agents, Saskatchewancareer and work educators arecontinuing lifelong learning andongoing skill development. Hopeto see you at Career Work Odyssey2001 in Moose Jaw!

THE “HIGH FIVE” OFCURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT

Change is ConstantWe change constantly and so does theworld around us - including theworking world. Adaptability is anessential skill for everyone. We knewthat shaping six credits of workexperience into four credits of Career& Work Exploration would be a“challenge in change.” Who wouldtake on that role?

Learning is OngoingGraduating from high school, college,or university is not the end oflearning. We need to encourage

everyone to recognize and takeadvantage of opportunities to learn –opportunities that are everywhere.We knew that developing the firstdraft of our new curriculum wouldrequire listening to and learningfrom everyone. Who would take onthat role?

Access Your AlliesThe journey of life is not taken alone.Family, colleagues, friends, andmentors are there to help us decidewhat steps to take on life’s path andhow best to take them. We knewthat committing to developing ournew curriculum was sure to involvesome sleepless nights when allieswere absolutely essential. Whowould take on that role?

Focus on the JourneyTravelling through life is liketravelling down a road. Having adestination provides direction butwe still must take one step at a time.We all need to pay attention to thesteps of the journey. Pitfalls,sidetracks, and opportunities provideendless possibilities for newdestinations. We knew that our newcurriculum required designing aflexible document that suits thecareer development needs of ALLSaskatchewan students. Who wouldtake on that role?

Follow Your HeartWe all dream about what careerdevelopment could be and should bein our province. We knew thatreflecting our passions by capturingthose dreams and putting them onpaper would a huge task. Who wouldtake on that role?

Anna Fornal, that’s who. As thedeveloper of the first draft of ournew provincial curriculum, Anna hasmade a hugely significantcontribution to that dream. There isno one more deserving of this year’sRecognition of Service Award. Anna:For your commitment, your uniqueabilities, your leadership, and yourwillingness, we thank you.

FRIENDS OF CAREER/WORKEDUCATION AWARDS are pre-sented to non-educators who haveassisted in the development and pro-motion of Career/Work Education inSaskatchewan. Last year this wasawarded to Jeri Marchinko.I am honored to introduce you to anawesome lady. I heard about herfrom a number of people before Iactually had the pleasure of meetingher. Everyone raved about how niceshe is and how much sheaccomplishes, so I admit I wassomewhat skeptical when I met thisparagon. Since then I have had theopportunity to see her in action andshe is everything they said! She hascontributed the safety modules forthe new career and work explorationcurriculum that is in the pilot stage,she prepared the ready to workprogram, and she worked withLloydminster, LandsWest andTurtleford school divisions to write a100 hr. safety program. She has oneof the “interesting” jobs our keynotespeaker Dave Reddekopp referred toin his address – her job seems to bepart engineering, part law and parteducation. The material she preparesfor students is high interest and highactivity material, a true teacher’stalents. Please join me in thankingJerri Marchenco of Sask. Labor forher many contributions that assistso many of us in SCWEA.

Travelling through life is like travelling down a road:having a destination gives direction, but most of the timeis spent moving along. Pay attention to the journey, withall its pitfalls, sidetracks, opportunities, and highwaysto new destinations.

Focus on the Journey

Access Your AlliesThe journey of life is not take alone. Friends,family, teachers, neighbours – anyof them can be willing andhelpful allies when itcomes to judging whatsteps to take on life’spath.

Learning is OngoingGraduating from highschool or college doesnot signal the end oflearning. Opportunitiesto learn are everywhere,just waiting to berecognized.

Follow Your HeartDreaming can lead to an understandingof what we really want. And “what wereally want” is a prime motivator inshaping a rewarding career. It may takea lot of work to attain, but never beafraid of pursuing a dream.

Change is ConstantWe change constantly, and so does theworld around us – including theworking world. Because asingle occupation will nolonger take workers fromthe beginning to the endof their working lives,adaptability is animportant skill to carryinto this century.
